The move is in tune with the promise made earlier in the part divestment of the Tata Group's equity stake in Forbes Gokak to the Pallonji Mistry Group owned-Sterling.
With the sale, the Pallonji Mistry Group's equity holding in Forbes Gokak moved up to 14.88 per cent from the earlier 8.11 per cent, while that of the Tatas reduced to 18.29 per cent, including the residual 8.05 per cent held by Tata Investment Corporation which is to be divested later.

 tata.com : The Mistry move: Getting back to basics
While Mr Mistry was not available for comment - a recluse as far as the fourth estate is concerned - it makes sense for him to acquire the stake in Forbes Gokak.
Again, Mr Mistry, despite being the biggest stake holder in Tata Sons with nearly 22 per cent as of now, has never claimed a bigger say in the running of the group.
Post the 20 per cent open-offer that has been made, the cumulative stake of Mr Mistry will be at over 55 per cent: given that the Tata group and Mr Mistry have also inked a deal, which will let the latter acquire the residual Tata stake in Forbes Gokak by end-December 2001.
